package them as %ghost (regular files) and creating symlinks in -module-build 
package (so removing will be done by rpm)

this should do, but creates dead symlinks if kernel package doesn't exist.

but maybe triggerin on to module-build package? can there strict 
name-version-release dep be used?

and yeah, somewhy symlinks if packaged as %ghost require linkto exist. once 
asked about this on #rpm and jbj said to use regular files for %ghost.
